False alarm means a signal from an alarm system resulting in a response by the Police Department when an emergency situation did not exist.

Because false alarms require response by public safety personnel, involve unnecessary expense to the city, increase the risk of injury to persons or damage to property, and dilute the overall public safety protection to the city. Per City Ordinance 7.08.005, persons connected to an alarm system shall pay to the city a charge for false alarms responded to by the police department.

Note: Alarm fees not paid by November 15th will be placed on the property tax bill.
